re jairus' daughter

Jairus was a synagogue official who should have been hostile towards Jesus

"Don't bother the teacher"

Jesus only took his inner circle into the house

Peter, James and John

Jesus commanded the dead girl to arise with his God given authority

"My child, get up!"

She may have been in a coma

"She is not dead but asleep."

People were already mourning here when Jesus got there

Those who had seen the miracles of Jesus told others. Then those people told others, and so on. At this time, God had not sent a prophet for 400 years, so these people were not used to seeing miracles.

When Jesus arrived, teaching a new message about God’s kingdom, and performing miracles, it was the talk of the town.

Jesus did not want people to know about the miracle, and ordered the people not to tell anyone what they had seen
